I CAN SEW!

I am just very excited about these curtains I made for my kitchen! I went to Jo Anne's with Robin and picked out fabric and she helped me with a pattern and I made them! It is the first thing I have made from scratch. I know it is only rectangles but it was hard for me! And it took me all day to do these three panels. One for above the sink and two for by the kitchen table. Anyway I have two more rooms to do. That is I have fabric for two more rooms so hopefully more pictures to come! Yeah I can make curtains!

Way to go Andrea! We need to get together with our sewing machines and have an up noth sewing weekend with fabric, movies and popcorn. PS> I am assuming the dark color in the stripes is purple, what are the others?

Andrea said...

It is purple (like a plumy color) and dark and light greens. You would like it:)

Hm. I'm not seeing pictures?

Congrats on sewing something! The do-it-yourself spirit is difficult to resist once you get started. Don't be surprised if you find yourself moving onto pillows, throws, napkins...and even beyond squares and rectangles!

Just kidding. Refreshed and saw them. Cute

Very nice, Andrea. I'm so impressed. I'm usually really overwhelmed when I start a new sewing project, so I understand how you feel and how great it feels to have a beautiful finished product.

Andrea said...

Tricia, I was overwhelmed but then I found out that sewing is very relaxing to me. Plus Robin, Dan's cousin's wife helped me with the dimentions and all the pattern stuff and to me that is the hard overwhelming part:) I am a bit nervous to start the other curtains because of the different kind of material...wish me luck!

I'm just posting because I want to read baby news on your blog...

^ Like Serina said, I'm just stopping by here to say congratulations. I bet you two will be fantastic - and fun! - parents. :)

Could you please sew several, and various business suits in the finest Italian tradition, with imported New Zealand Lamb's wool? I prefer double breasted (no less than five buttons) with small lapels and trousers including a triple pleat and wide cuffs. Please make an extra effort to match the thread exactly to the color of the fabric. I Love You
